Student- Reconnect Google Drive Assignments App

The Google Drive Assignments App leverages the permission-sharing capabilities of Google Drive. A copy of the assigned document is created when a student opens an assignment using the Google Drive Assignments App. This copy is only shared with the instructor who created the assignment and the student who opens it.

Sometimes, errors can occur for students using this workflow, such as:

• A student attempts to review a file and discovers they no longer have access. A Google account or privileges previously gave them access to the file, but now they are using a different Google account and can’t access it.

• A student attempts to review a file and discovers they no longer have access. They are logged into Schoology, but are not actually logged into a Google account.

These errors can be resolved by signing out of the Google Drive Assignments App and signing back in. Schoology has added a link to make this process easier. This allows students to reconnect to the app with the correct Google Drive account and load the document successfully.

This link is available for students reviewing their documents in the My Document tab.

1. Select the link that displays before the document.

2. Select Connect, and then sign in to your Google Drive account.

After you’ve logged in, Schoology will automatically reload the document. If this does not resolve the issue, contact your instructor for further assistance.
